I've uses linux for the last 5 years switching to windows time to time. And consistently I have had less power consumption in linux than in windows.

I usually install linux mint on my laptop.

This tracks. I have recently gone back to running a Windows desktop machine for gaming, and now I have to actually shut it off because:

a) that fucking thing never stays asleep. Clean install with nothing other than Steam and a couple of games, sleep settings mean nothing. Just wakes up, stays awake forever.
b) Fortunately I have an enterprise license key so I don't get as much random bullshit, but every update there is some new fucking thing I don't want.

My machine is a desktop, but I can't image how this works well on laptops.
